Off Topic, kind of, but interesting article from WSJ: What the Well-Dressed Fracker Is Wearing

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323798104578453310080...

Retailers including Cabela's Inc.CAB -1.97% and clothing manufacturers like Carhartt Inc. say they are seeing an increased demand for sturdy shoes and fire-resistant clothing that oil and gas workers can wear to protect themselves from fires and explosions.

The appetite for fracking gear is leading clothes makers to send research and development teams to consult with oil-field workers in Texas and North Dakota, in the same way Nike Inc. NKE -1.43%taps elite athletes to test out its track shoes and football cleats.
